No one likes taxes. But the problem becomes more acute when
they are seen as unfair and even discriminatory - making the less
well off even worse off. This appears to be the case in France
when those most affected are the rural people who need their
cars far more than city dwellers - and are arguably being penalised
by that need whilst being less affluent than their metropolitan
neighbours who also have access to efficient public transport.
These demos tend to be hi-jacked by the usual rent-a mob crowd
and it interests me how often these are reported to be "far right".
Rarely any media mention of "far left". But perhaps the word
"media" supplies the clue?
